History seems to progress and regress in waves, contextually its pretty shit when you're in a regression wave. Hate can't last forever, as it eats itself.

It discontinues support on my phone the same month google does, so that support ends either way.

Closer to 8 billion

Yeah the executive has been out of control here for decades, it just took trump to make that obvious.

I actually think someone like trump could exist in more countries than we are willing to acknowledge. He plays terribly as someone else's leader, but as your own leader, people seem to love the jingoism, bravado, and shamelessness in a lot of countries.

Instead of getting angry you could research what that slogan means to different groups. For nearly every group that slogan currently means freedom for everyone from the river to the sea. Most accounts of early use meaning freedom for Palestine not just from Israel, but from Jordan and Egypt as well. The one group that used it in a mostly genocidal undertone was the PLO in the 1960's who believed it meant returning the whole region to Palestinian rule, and 'removing' all people that immigrated in the last hundred years. As with most things it requires nuance. It can mean something bad, but these days most people use it to mean freedom. Intentionally taking it to mean something other than how people mean to use it seems disingenuous.

Interactive performance art, and D&D, probably for the same reasons. It's fine if it's your cup of tea, but I find them to be incredibly annoying. I don't want to participate in either of those worlds in any way. Oddly I love many videogames RPG's and can get behind a well written play. I just find there aforementioned extremes to be entirely tedious and grating.

Completely agree, there is The Wire and then there is everything else. It is simply in a tier of its own.

I just partitioned my drive thinking I might need windows for occasional tasks. I spend 99% of my time in Linux. I've only switched over a few times really just to organize old things. I'll likely eventually just do away with windows to free up the space. I don't really spend time in the console and spend less time solving issues in linux than I did in windows. For a lot of things, stuff just works.

I thought neanderthal males were thought to be a lot less aggressive than homo sapiens (possibly even the reason for their extinction)? Even though I suspect you could be right. I think it's possibly a mistake to apply how we are today to how our relatives were 40,000+ years ago. Also they might not have a comparable concept of rape if you go back far enough. So the personal trama, cultural implications, and psychological impact are possibly hard to analyze from a modern lense.

I asked Google to look at my reddit profile and it hallucinated that I have a son, despite that not being the case and me never having claimed or said anything like that. It got at least some other stuff right.

I'm not an overly chatty person, but honestly I love people like this. I feel like that kind of aggressively social attitude makes us all safer. Every time you make a social connection that person has a stake in your life even if it's only for the next 5 minutes. Your attention to them might also have made their day. In my experience some of the "don't talk to me" people glow the most with attention, their standoffishness is just a defense mechanism to their loniness.
